Hallow Dear,
Clofert is Clomiphene citrate. Clomiphene is known to cause hyperstimulation of the ovaries resulting into release of multiple eggs. If all of them or more than one of them get fertilized, multiple pregnancy can result.
In such cases, selective abortion of the embryo(s) leaving back the healthiest embryo is possible; however, the legal aspects of such termination varies from country to country. The decision should be taken only by consulting a Gynaecologist.
I hope this helps you.
